Mat Ishbia's Suns have continuity for the first time — and better yet, patience

PHOENIX — Despite getting swept in the Western Conference’s first round of the playoffs, the Phoenix Suns find themselves in new territory. For the first time under owner Mat Ishbia, they do not enter the offseason in transition, an organization looking for a new head coach.In Year 1 on Ishbia’s watch, he replaced Monty Williams. In Year 2, he replaced Frank Vogel. In Year 3, it was Mike Budenholzer. After this season, no move was needed. The Suns are good with Jordan Ott, a bright spot in a 45-37 season that ended in the first round of the playoffs.Advertisement
